AI-suggested
Upgrade OpenEMR to version 8.5.0 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Until the upgrade is applied, restrict access to the Module Manager InstallerController actions to trusted administrators only, if possible. There is no indication that the vendor considers this vulnerability already mitigated or requiring no action.
Description
OpenEMR versions prior to 8.5.0 have a missing authorization vulnerability in five Module Manager InstallerController actions. These actions lack proper admin/manage_modules ACL checks and CSRF validation, allowing low-privilege users such as Front Office accounts to modify module configurations, retarget CCDA and HIE settings, and delete module hooks.
